Unless the team is fighting for a playoff spot, this would make the last two weeks even less meaningful. Say you’re the Patriots and you’re 12-2 or 11-3 with two weeks to go. Belichick would bench everyone those last two weeks, giving the Pats in essence a 3 week bye assuming the division aligns as expected. Same if you’re, say, the Dolphins chugging along at 1-13 about to play the 3-11 Jets. It will have all the excitement you could imagine. If they’re adding two more games I’d rather just have an additional bye week. Edit - or whatever the records would be with two weeks remaining. I see your point, but you're going to have use a different team as an example. Belichick is constantly (fairly) criticized for leaving his starters in long after the game has been decided. He'd send the starting offense onto the field up by 24 in the 4th quarter in week 20.
